Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons... IN SPAAAAAACE!!!
Synopsis
Aboard the Autobot spaceship Axalon, Alexis and her friends look back on Earth as they head towards Cybertron. Fred eats some chocolate and Billy cries that he forgot his video camera. On the bridge, Hot Shot and the Autobots salute Earth and the memory of Optimus Prime.
On the Decepticons' ship, Megatron orders the ship to be turned around so the Autobots can be destroyed.
Sparkplug, still holding Prime's Matrix, meets with several Mini-Cons. Moments later, hundreds of glowing lights swarm around the Autobot ship. High Wire - in English - introduces the lights as Mini-Con friends. After the swarm of Minis are introduced, the Street Action Mini-Con Team trigger a flashback in the humans to that time they saw a big evil in cyberspace. High Wire names the evil Unicron.
Blurr tries to pilot the Axalon through an asteroid field. In the thick of the space debris, the Decepticons start their attack. Alexis notices the Mini-Cons also running to help the Autobots in the battle. Thrust fights against Jetfire, Cyclonus fights against Blurr, and Starscream and Hot Shot continue their long-standing grudge. Scavenger erotically battles against Demolishor. Megatron easily overpowers Side Swipe.
When Megatron aims the Requiem Blaster at the Axalon, Hot Shot stands in his way. Meanwhile, on the Axalon's hull, Perceptor and Sparkplug present The Matrix to the swarm of their gathered friends. Several Mini-Cons plunge into the Matrix, where something begins to take shape.
Megatron degrades Hot Shot, but a large sphere of green light swoops around and knocks Megatron aside. To everybody's astonishment, Optimus stands alive. With a Max Flare, Optimus ruins the Decepticon's attack. At the end of the episode, Megatron is glad that Optimus is back.

Notes
Differences with Micron Legend
Lost in translation
Animation and/or technical glitches
- Alexis sees Iceberg in the hallway and calls him by his Japanese name, Junk. You should be used to this kind of thing by now.
- Optimus is missing the jaw on his Autobot logo in the last shot.
Continuity errors
- Billy mentions that he forgot his video camera. Where's Laserbeak?
- Last episode, Thrust said that it was only a matter of time before the Autobots would pass the Decepticons and beat them to Cybertron. This episode, he reassures Megatron that the Autobots will never catch up to them.
Real-world references
- Megatron says that it's "time to sink a battleship," possibly referencing the popular kids game.
- Lightsaber sounds and R2D2 beeps are heard when Optimus Prime is being reborn
Miscellaneous trivia
- The Prime-Transforms sequence airs at the start of the episode, rather than after the first scene.
- Smokescreen finally has his name changed to Hoist.
- The arrival of the Mini-Cons is explained in the Linkage series of comics that came with each Japanese Micron Legend DVD release.
- Megatron's happiness over Prime's return matches his disappointment that Prime died in "Crisis".
- This episode debuts several non-toy Mini-Cons with unique designs, who would later get bios from the Transformers Collectors' Club, such as Flashbox.
- Note how Megatron felt incomplete ever since Prime was killed in "Crisis". Sounds familiar.
